Holy Cow Bruce!!!  You've done it again!  There is so much air, space, voids, or whatever, the piece looks as light as a feather.  And what a masterful job on creating the leather.  You have to be a m...

Not sure, but joined Woodturners of North Texas on my 43rd wedding anniversary 7/27/2013; probably haven't missed more than 5 meetings in 10 plus yrs.  They are an amazing group of talented turners.  ...

Looking forward to some progress pics.  IMHO the tabletop in the photo is too thin for the "mass" of the base.  To each his own.

Most impressed with the draw bore M&T.  I did a trestle table with loose M&T for our DNL and it never occurred to me to do draw bore.  You really went the "extra mile".  Very nice work!!!
